Back in November our staff of designers and type experts collaborated to put together a prelimary list of the best fonts of the year so far – and with some curation we ended up here, with the final ‘Best Of.’ All designs are from our foundry partners, were released in 2016, and you know, delighted us.

The year brought many great originals, like Alexandra Korolkova’s display serif, FF Carina, Shiva Nallaperumal’s Trench Sans, Rounded, and Slab for micro sizes, and HVD’s eccentric Fabrikat, as well as updates and family extensions, and the increasingly popular script-font-ecosystem kit; See Laura Worthington’s Fairwater. And that’s just a taste. Check out our complete Best of 2016 fontlist.
